Description: | A worn and corroded lead-alloy weight of uncertain date, probably dating to between the Roman-early Modern periods. The weight is circular in plan and hemispherical in section, with a convex upper surface. Traces of possible incised lettering remain on the underside following the circumference of the weight. It measures 24.6 mm in diameter and is 5.4 mm thick and weighs 20.52 grams. Plain weights were cast locally in lead from the Roman period onwards and are hard to date precisely, although most are late Medieval to Post Medieval.
